I participated with my wife, our son who is in the first year of middle school, and our daughter who is in the fifth grade, making a total of four people. The instructor, Kevin, was kind and taught us in fluent Japanese, so there were no issues with the operation lecture. However, perhaps due to the strong waves, my wife and son became seasick about ten minutes into kayaking and had to return early. Unfortunately, we could only snorkel near the starting point, which was very disappointing. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication beforehand.
Since I was experienced, the explanation for snorkeling was brief, and I thought it might be a bit tough for the inexperienced children. However, since it was a short tour, if the explanation is given in detail, the experience time would be shortened, so I think it's better to communicate in advance which is preferred.
I didn't bring a waterproof camera, but Kevin took photos with his own waterproof camera and later shared the files with us.
妻と中1の息子、私と小5の娘の2組4人で参加しました。
インストラクターのケビンさんが親切で丁寧に流ちょうな日本語で教えてくれたので、操作レクチャーについては問題なかったのですが、波が強めだったせいか、妻と息子の組がカヤックに乗って10分程度で船酔いになってしまい、早々に戻ることになってしまい、シュノーケリングもスタート地点付近でしかできず、とても残念でした。酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでいかれることをお勧めします。
私が経験者であったことから、シュノーケリングについての説明は短目で、未経験の子供にはちょっと辛いかもしれないと思いましたが、短時間のツアーなので、説明を丁寧にされると体験の時間が短くなるので、どちらを望むかを事前に伝えておいたほうが良いと思いました。
防水カメラを準備して行かなかったのですが、ケビンさんが持参の防水カメラで写真撮影して、後でファイルを共有させてくれました。

I was anxious about whether I would really encounter wild dolphins, but our guide Daisuke was already smiling and pointing to the sea in the car on the way to the port, saying, "I have a feeling they might be around here," which greatly increased my expectations.
Then, just after we set sail, without even having time to prepare myself, we were instructed to "get in!" and as soon as I entered the water, a lot of dolphins were swimming right in front of me. Among them was a small baby dolphin, and I learned it was about a week old, so it seems we encountered a very lucky pod.
My daughter was the youngest participant, so Daisuke stayed close to her, and thanks to that, dolphins came close, and she was thrilled to see them up close. It seemed like we hit the jackpot that day, as we saw the pod multiple times in the water, along with dolphins jumping and spinning, and others surfing on the waves; we were able to witness various scenes.
Additionally, Daisuke and the boat operator, Nawata, made a wonderful team, and it was impressive how they took care to ensure all participants enjoyed themselves on board. I plan to sign up for this tour again the next time I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
野生のイルカに本当に出会えるのか不安でしたが、ガイドのダイスケさんが港に向かう車中で既に「あの辺に居そうな気がする」と海を指しながらニコニコだったので、一気に期待が膨らみました。
そして、出港直後、心の準備をする間もなく「入って!」の指示で海に入るとたくさんのイルカが目の前を泳いでいました。その中に小さな赤ちゃんイルカもいたのですが、生後1週間くらいかな、というお話でとてもラッキーな群れに遭遇したようです。
娘は参加者の中で最年少だったのでダイスケさんが側にいてくれたのですが、おかげでイルカが近寄ってきてくれて至近距離で見たと喜んでいました。
この日は当たりだったようで、何度も何度も海中で群れを見せてもらいましたし、ジャンプして回転するイルカや波に乗ってサーフィンするイルカ、色んな場面を見ることができました。
また、ダイスケさんとボートの操縦士の縄田さんがとても素敵なコンビで、参加者全員が楽しめるようにボード上でも色々と気配りしてくださったのが印象的でした。
次にハワイに来る時もまたこちらのツアーに申し込むつもりです。ありがとうございました。

The round-trip boat ride felt like rafting, which might be risky for those prone to seasickness, but my children actually enjoyed it like an attraction. Upon arrival at the point, we saw countless dolphins and watched baby dolphins jump multiple times. They even let us try snorkeling ahead of the pod's movement, which was very satisfying. My parents, around 70 years old, also enjoyed themselves while holding onto floats. The staff was very kind as well. Thank you very much.
往復のボートはラフティングような感じで、酔いやすい方は危険かもしれませんが、我が家の子供達はアトラクションのようで楽しいとむしろ喜んでいました。 ポイントに到着すると、数えきれないイルカのむれ、子供イルカのジャンプを何度も見られましたし、群れの移動を先回りしてシュノーケルのトライをしてくれて、大満足でした。70前後の両親も浮きにつかまりながら楽しんでいました。スタッフの方もとても親切でした。ありがとうございました。

We participated as a group of four, including three children. Our guide, Daisuke, had a wonderful love for dolphins. He was kind and funny, keeping everyone entertained during the drive to the port. His desire for everyone to see many dolphins was evident, and we indeed saw a lot.
Captain Hitomi was also fantastic, communicating the direction of the dolphins to everyone in the water and anticipating their movements to position the boat ahead. Her genuine intention to ensure everyone was satisfied was clear.
I'm really glad we participated.
3人の子供の計4名で参加しました。ガイドのダイスケさん、イルカ愛が素晴らしかった。優しく、面白く、港に着くまでの車中も皆を楽しませてくれてました。沢山のイルカを皆に見てもらおうという気持ちが伝わりました。実際たくさん見れました。
船長のヒトミさんがまた素晴らしく、船上からイルカのくる方向を海の中の皆へ伝えたり、イルカの方向を読んで船の先回りをしたり、商売っ気がなく、皆に満足して貰おうという気持ちがこれまた伝わってきました。

A fun guide and a cheerful captain took us by boat to see the dolphins. They predicted the dolphins' movements, and as soon as we spotted a pod, we jumped into the water. Even my 10-year-old was able to chase and swim around with the dolphins while snorkeling. We were allowed to swim freely, but if we stayed close to the guide, they would pull us right next to the dolphins. Of course, they always kept an eye on everyone's safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. It was so much fun to swim while predicting the dolphins' movements as they headed to the surface! Thank you!
楽しいガイドさんに、陽気な船長さんがボートでイルカのところまで連れて行ってくれます。イルカの動きを予測して、群れを見つけたら即海へ。10歳の子も十分シュノーケルでイルカを追っかけて泳ぎ回ってました。自由に泳がせてもらいながらも、ガイドさんの近くにいればほんとイルカのすぐ横まで引っ張ってってもらえます。もちろんみんなの安全も常に気を配ってくださって、自由に楽しめました。イルカが海面へ向かう動きを予測して泳ぐのはとっても楽しかった!ありがとうございました!

I took a helicopter from Waikoloa. It was my first time on a helicopter, and just watching the helicopters return from the morning tour got me so excited! I was given an emergency life jacket, boarded the helicopter, and was handed a headset and intercom—wow, so cool!! At first, I was nervous and a bit scared during takeoff, but it didn't shake at all, and the views were amazing, so I was able to enjoy it. Due to the active activity of Kilauea volcano, we couldn't get close to Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, but entering the bays of the Hamakua Coast and getting close to the waterfall was an experience unique to the helicopter. I was so excited that I forgot to take motion sickness medication before getting on, so I ended up looking down the whole time and got a little nauseous along the way. Next time, I plan to take motion sickness medicine and definitely want to see Halemaʻumaʻu Crater.
ワイコロア発のヘリコプターに乗りました。
人生初のヘリコプターで、朝一番のツアーから戻ってくるヘリコプターを見ているだけで、大興奮! 緊急用の救命胴衣を着けてもらって、乗り込み、ヘッドセットとインカムを渡されて、うわっ、カッコいい!! 最初は緊張していて、離陸も少し怖かったけど、全然揺れないし、景色は良く見えるしで、楽しむことができました。キラウエア火山の活動が活発だったため、ハレマウマウ火口には近寄れませんでしたが、ハマクアコーストの入り江に入って、滝に接近したのはヘリコプターならではの体験でした。興奮していて、乗る前に乗り物酔いを飲み忘れてしまったので、下ばかり見ていて、途中少し酔ってしまいました。次回は酔い止め薬を飲んで、是非ハレマウマウ火口を見たいと思います。

Unfortunately, a few days ago the eruption ended, and I couldn't see the red magma. It's nature, so there's nothing that can be done about it.
Still, seeing the black lava and the great nature of Hawaii from a doorless helicopter was truly moving. I couldn't understand what the English-speaking pilot was saying, but I enjoyed it completely.
As advice, the temperature on the day was 31 degrees, but it was 18 degrees up in the air. I think it's safer to prepare warm clothing.
残念ながら?数日前に噴火が終わってしまい、赤いマグマを見る事が出来ませんでした。自然が相手なのでしょうがないです。
それでも、ドアなしヘリコプターから見る、黒い溶岩やハワイの大自然は感動モノでした。
英語パイロットなので何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが、全然楽しめます。
アドバイスとして、当日の気温は31度でしたが上空は18度でした。
防寒着は用意していったほうが無難だと思います。

Although the lava is no longer very visible (it's crusted over, so you really only see the black lava crust, the steam from the fissures, and a little bit of lava glowing in one of the fissures), it was amazing to fly over it and learn the history of the area and the previous eruptions. The view from above makes you really appreciate how much territory has been affected. We couldn't see it spilling into the ocean anymore, either, but it was still really cool!
We didn't fly very close to the waterfall, and we were under the impression that we might see more than one, but the one we did see was very impressive from above.
Just being up in a helicopter, flying over this beautiful island and the surrounding ocean was fantastic and we loved it!

I participated with my high school daughter and husband. This was our third time riding, following the Grand Canyon and Parker Ranch on the Big Island, and we are still beginners. Before we rode, they explained how to ride and safety precautions very slowly and clearly in English. During the ride, they also talked about the ranch and the Big Island, engaging us in conversation, and they guided us in a very friendly and safe manner. We could see the coastline of Kona from the ranch, and the view was outstanding. They kept our valuables in a safe, which was really helpful.

We participated as a couple. It was both of our first time snorkeling, but since the other participants were experienced, our two guides were almost constantly there to support us. We were able to see many dolphins swimming up close, and I got to see a dolphin resting underwater for the first time while snorkeling. My wife had some seasickness and couldn't swim much, so I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.
夫婦2人で参加しました。2人ともスノーケリングは初めてでしたが、他の参加者が経験者だったこともあり、2人のガイドさんが、ほとんどつきっきりでフォローしてくれました。たくさんのイルカが泳いでいる姿を間近で見ることができ、スノーケリングでは、海中で休んでいるイルカを初めて見ることができました。妻は船酔いもあって、あまり泳げませんでしたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。

I had been repeatedly turned down by dolphins in Oahu, Guam, Saipan, and Bali. I signed up for my first dolphin tour on the Big Island, but my family gave me cold looks, saying, "You won't see any dolphins anyway." Deep down, I was filled with a sense of foreboding that I wouldn't see them. (Just in case I didn't see any dolphins on this tour, I booked a stay at Hilton Waikoloa Village, planning to participate in a dolphin program with my kids if all else failed...)
When I mentioned this, our guide Daisuke said, "Let's end that unfortunate record today! Don't worry! You'll see them!" His encouraging words gave me hope. As I boarded the boat, I silently prayed, "I believe!" Just one minute in, I heard, "Oh, there are dolphins!" and when I looked out at the sea, there they were!!! I had never seen them before, but I recognized them immediately! The dolphins were swimming with their dorsal fins breaking the surface repeatedly. And then, we quickly went into the water! There were dolphins everywhere; I was amazed at how many there were. At that moment, I was truly moved...
However, the ocean is vast, and when they dive deep, we just had to wait. But Daisuke dove down to the dolphins. Strangely, they were drawn to him and came up to the surface near us! Incredible, just incredible!
According to Daisuke, "Today, the dolphins are really in a good mood; if I call them ten times, they'll respond every time." (Daisuke can tell the dolphins' moods... that's amazing...) When a dolphin swam past me over my shoulder, I was just overwhelmed with emotion. A regular participant (who has joined this tour about 50 times) said that the dolphins are attracted to Daisuke, and he has never failed to see them.
What I found most wonderful about this tour, especially as a family participant, was when Daisuke said, "Parents, please focus on yourselves. I'll take care of the kids." He actually helped the children who were struggling to get to the dolphins in the water. Thanks to him, I was able to chase the dolphins freely and enjoy myself without worry. I believe families can participate with peace of mind, and it's clear why there are so many regulars; it was a fantastic tour.
We encountered a large group of dolphins just one minute after boarding, but on average, it takes about 50 minutes to find a pod of dolphins.
Once my children's exams are over, I want to go back to the Big Island and join the tour again!
オアフ島・グアム・サイパン・バリ・・・と何度も何度もイルカにフラれ続けた私。
ハワイ島での初のイルカツアーをこちらに申し込みましたが「どうせイルカには会えないって」と家族からも冷たい視線を送られる私。
内心、会えない予感でいっぱいでした。
(今回のツアーで会えなかった場合に備えて、ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジに宿泊。最悪子供とドルフィンプログラムに参加するつもりでした・・・。)
その話をすると、ガイドのダイスケさん、「その不名誉な記録は今日で終わりにしましょう!大丈夫です!会えます!」と力強いお言葉。
「信じてますよ~!!」と心の中で祈りつつ、乗船して一分。
「あ、イルカいますよ~」と言われ、目を海にやるとイルカちゃんが!!!
今までに一度も見たことないのに、すぐに分かりました!
イルカちゃんが何度も何度も海面に背びれを出して泳いでました。
そして、早速海の中へ!
います、います、イルカちゃん達。本当に一体何匹いるんだろうと驚くばかりのイルカの群れ。もうこの時点で私は感動。。。。
ただ海は広いので、深いところへもぐってしまうと、ただ待つことになるのですが、ダイスケさんが素潜りでイルカちゃん達のもとへ。
不思議なことに、それに誘われてイルカちゃんが海面に上がってきて私たちの近くまでやってきてくれるのです!すごい、すごすぎる!
ダイスケさん曰く、「今日は本当にイルカちゃんみんな機嫌がよくて、10回誘ったら10回応えてくれる感じです~」とのことでした。
(イルカちゃんの機嫌がわかる、ダイスケさん、、、すごすぎる。。。)
誘われてきたイルカが私の肩越しにすれ違った時は本当にただただ、感動してしまいました。
常連の方(いままでこちらのツアーに50回くらい参加されている)曰く、ダイスケさんにイルカちゃんはひきつけられてくるんで、一度も会えなかった事はないです~とのことでした。
何より家族で参加した私が一番このツアーで素敵だな~と思ったのは、
「お父さん、お母さんは自分のことをしっかりやってください。子供のことは僕が見ます」とダイスケさんがおっしゃってくださり、実際うまく海の中でイルカのところへ行けな子供達を適時面倒見てくれたこことです。
おかげで、私は本当にのびのびイルカを追いかけまわして、心置きなく楽しむことができました。
家族連れの方も安心して参加していただけると思いますし、常連さんがいらっしゃるのがよくわかる、素敵なツアーでした。
今回私たちは乗船して1分でイルカの大群に出会うことができましたが、平均的にはイルカの群れを見つけるためには、50分くらいかかるそうです。
子供の受験が終わったらまたハワイ島に行ってツアーに参加したいと思ってます!

Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 1) He created a group just for Japanese people.
Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 2) This was my 12th time on the Big Island, while others were visiting for the first time, but the explanations satisfied both groups.
Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 3) He showed us the waterfall deep in Waipi'o Valley, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I want to ride in Mr. Mochizuki's helicopter next time!
望月さん最高1)日本人だけのグループにしてくれた。
望月さん最高2)私は、ハワイ島12回目、他の方は初めてでしたが、両方が満足できる説明でした。

I requested premium seats, but half of the venue was premium seating, so I didn't feel particularly favored. I did arrive early and was seated in the front row, though. The dancing was excellent, but it was a dinner show with singing and dancing, not a luau ceremony.
プレミアムシートを指定しましたが、会場の半分はプレミアムシートで特に優遇されている感じはしませんでした。早めに行って並んだので一番前の座席ではありましたけど。踊りは上手でしたが、歌とダンスのディナーショーでルアウという儀式ではなかったです。

I never expected to meet so many wild dolphins, so it was truly a wonderful experience. I was nervous because I'm not good at swimming, but they held my hand the whole time and checked in on me frequently, which helped me relax and enjoy it. ♡ It became the best honeymoon!
野生のイルカにあんなたくさん会えるなんて思ってなかったので本当に素敵な体験が出来ました。泳ぐのが苦手で不安だったんですが、ずっと手を引いてくれて声かけもこまめにしてくださってリラックスして楽しめました♡
最高のハネムーンになりました!
